Hiller pitched a shutout a la Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in one of the
unlikeliest of outdoor games. He was heavily tested in the first period,
turning away 20 shots while Corey Perry and Matt Beleskey both scored.

Andrew Cogliano added an empty-net goal with 1:29 remaining in the third
period.

The Ducks swept the home-and-home set with the Kings and have won 21 of their
last 24 games.

Jonathan Quick stopped 18 shots in Los Angeles' fifth straight loss.

"Yeah, it was tough chasing the lead. Trouble scoring goals," said Kings head
coach Darryl Sutter.

Anaheim got off to a fast start, striking twice before the first regular-
season NHL game played in the United States west of the Mississippi River was
10 minutes old.

Following a faceoff in the Los Angeles zone, Ryan Getzlaf put a shot on net
from the left circle that trickled through Quick. The puck sat in the crease
and Perry was able to push it across the goal line at 2:45.

The Ducks went up 2-0 on a good cycle play at 8:12. Nick Bonino threw the puck
out front and it floated past Quick after making contact with Beleskey.

Hiller denied Anze Kopitar on a penalty shot moments later to keep the Kings
off the board.

After a scoreless second period, Los Angeles got an early power play in the
third. Kyle Palmieri drove the crease and tumbled into Quick, who was none too
pleased about the collision that resulted in a goalie interference penalty.

The Kings couldn't convert on the man advantage and finished 0-for-4 on the
power play.

"I think halfway through the third I said it doesn't matter. They're not going
to beat him," Anaheim head coach Bruce Boudreau said about Hiller.
